UNSPSC 85711226: Removal of internal fixation device from right sternoclavicular joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right sternoclavicular joint, open approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0RPE04Z

UNSPSC 85711226 Removal of internal fixation device from right sternoclavicular joint, open approach (Commodity) does not map to the state and local procurement activity the source records. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out networks — none of which involve removal of internal fixation devices from the sternoclavicular joint. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the UNSPSC tagging or a fundamental category misalignment at the issuing body level. State and local procurement offices do not appear to be actively soliciting this specific procedure code.

The source records six recent opportunities, but only one — the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) — involves physician-performed medical examinations and evaluations. The issuing bodies include a state department, two cities (Phoenix and Long Beach), a county (Collier County, Florida), a county health system (Santa Clara), and a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Without a meaningful alignment between the code's nominal scope and the opportunities posted, no representative recent procurement activity under this code can be reliably characterized for business development purposes.
